hello all,

I am re-working an eight tune, drum style music box for a lady.  The
problem is that 75% of the 4300 pin actuators are bent over or broke
off.  I am now in the process of removing all of them, and plan to
replace them.  Does anyone know what type of wire was used to make
those pins?  Is there an outlet to purchase those pins?  (I expect
I'll have to make them).  The inside of the drum was coated with
aprox. 1/4 inch of something, to firm up around the pins to keep them
from rocking loose.  Does any body know what this goop was?

Thanx in advance for all who can help!
